Educational institutions have a responsibility to dissuade students from pursuing fields of study in which they are unlikely to succeed.
教育机构有义务去阻止学生从事不可能成功的研究。
Write a response in which you discuss the extent to which you agree or disagree with the claim. In developing and supporting your position, be sure to address the most compelling reasons and/or examples that could be used to challenge your position.
I fundamentally disagree with the speaker's statement that it is educational institutions' responsibility to dissuade students from pursuing fields of study where they are unlikely to succeed. The formation of my views are based on the reasons as follows.
Firstly, it is hard for educational institutions to tell which fields of study which are unlikely to achieve a feat from all fields of studies. Because in a world that develops so fast, it is hard to prospect what a discipline would be some years later. May a field of study which seems unpromising now become a productive project some years later. Taken the computer technology as an example, in 1970s, when the first computer was developed, with such a huge volume, no one would aspect that this machine would walk into every house in 2010s. No one worked on the computer science would be expected to have a success. However, groups of scientists worked on the computer science to make it smaller and more useful. And now, as a result, Bill Gates and the other ones among the pioneers who seized this opportunity became richest ones in the world. IT now becomes hot-spot of today's learners.
Besides, the discipline which seems to be unpromising might be the fields of study which needs volunteers most,in which once a success comes, it would be a breakthrough in the history of science. For example, in 1930s, the development of Biology was very slow and without much expectation. However it is in this discipline that a breakthrough cause a great shock to the world. When Penicillin was developed, it saved lives of millions of people from surgeries. If without the devotion of the father of Penicillin, the development of antibiotics would delay for decades, then humans would suffer more from bacteria transfections. Another example is the development of relative theory in the 19th century, when the development of classical physics have reach an apotheosis(顶峰). Many people thought that all the disciplines of physics had been found. However, physicians like Einstein do devote their lives in search for more mysterious of the physical world, then Einstein developed his relative theory which build the foundation of a new disciple -- the quantum mechanics.
Above all, it is student's property to choose which field of study to devote to. And the interest of students are very necessary for doing research.The process of study in one field is a hard work. It might need to work day and night to eventually have a discovery. Without interest, it is nearly impossible for one to stick to that work. So it is more reasonable that students themselves rather than educational institutions should be counted decision of which fields of study the students should choose.
In sum, which fields of study to choose should be decided by students themselves rather than be forced by education institutions. What education institutions should do is to provide enough informations of the development of every field of science, and help students found the fields which they favourite rather than dissuade the student from choose fields in which it can be hard to succeed. |
